Counselling & demo class
Drawings and models are judged on whether a site, a client or a fabricator can use them. Every exercise here is checked the same way, so you learn the standard along with the software.
Practice on houses, interiors and buildings of the kind built around Hoshiarpur.
Your trainer reviews each sheet and model the way a senior in a design office would.
How the tool fits with AutoCAD, rendering and the rest of an architect's workflow.
Finished drawings, models and renders you can show an employer or client.
The course is built for learners arriving from different starting points.
Show clients realistic 3D views before anything is built.
B.Arch, B.Tech civil and diploma students who need the software their profession uses.
Skills you can bill for, plus the delivery habits clients expect.
Weekend batches and 1-on-1 mentoring for people training without taking leave.
A structured route in from another field, with guidance on how to position the move.

The stack you work with in class and in the live projects.
Finishing Architectural Visualization puts three separate documents in your file — each one for a different part of what you did.
Awarded when you complete the Architectural Visualization programme. Where the track has a recognised vendor exam, we prepare you for that as well.
For the live project you build during Architectural Visualization, naming the work and the tools you used — so the project on your CV is backed by paper, not just claimed.
Take your training as a university internship and you finish with an internship letter covering your weeks on a project team.
See internship trainingIllustration — ask to see a real certificate at the centre.
How the paper is used
The roles Architectural Visualization prepares you for, and the kinds of employers who use these skills. Outcomes depend on your own work and the market — we prepare you for interviews, we do not promise a job or a number.
Placement support comes with every course — portfolio review, mock interviews and guidance on where to apply.
Talk about placementsMost Architectural Visualization courses cover a similar syllabus. What separates them is what you build while you are there, and what happens after the last session.

What the call covers
Counselling and the demo class are both free.
It is a visualisation course at our Model Town centre covering the whole pipeline — modelling from CAD plans, materials, lighting, V-Ray rendering, walkthrough animation and post-production.
Interior designers, architecture and civil students, draughtsmen and freelancers who want to produce renders and walkthroughs for clients.
You should be able to read architectural plans, and AutoCAD or SketchUp experience is strongly recommended. Complete beginners are usually advised to start with one of those courses.
Those courses each teach one tool in depth. This one teaches the whole job — plan to model to render to walkthrough to finished portfolio — using 3ds Max, SketchUp and V-Ray together.
Yes. The three projects — exterior stills, an interior set and a walkthrough — are reviewed by your trainer and form the portfolio you show to studios or clients.
3 Months, across 4 modules and about 48 sessions. Weekday and weekend batches cover the same syllabus, so choose the timing that suits you.
Classes run at the techcadd centre in Model Town, Hoshiarpur (Inside City Center, near Bus Stand, Model Town, Hoshiarpur, Punjab 146001), and live online. Both cover the same material, so you can switch if your schedule changes.
Yes. You receive a techcadd Hoshiarpur certificate for Architectural Visualization after completing the course and its final assessment.
Yes. Counselling and the demo class are free — visit the Model Town centre or book one online, see how the class is run, and then decide.
Send your question and a counsellor will call you back — batch timings, fees, placement support, certification. No obligation to enrol.
